• (my first one took around 35 minutes, I believe) When the top is golden brown, it is done.

MAPLE ANGEL FOOD CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. In a mixer fitted with the whisk attachment (or using a hand mixer), whip the egg whites until foamy. Add the cream of tartar and salt and continue whipping until soft peaks form. With the mixer running, gradually add 1 cup of the granulated sugar and continue whipping until stiff and the sugar has dissolved, about 30 seconds more.
• Sift the remaining 1/4-cup of granulated sugar with the sifted cake flour 3 times, to aerate the mixture. Fold into the egg whites, then fold in the vanilla and maple syrup.
• Spoon the batter into an ungreased proper angel food pan or 6 miniature ones. Smooth the top with the back of the spoon. Bake until light golden brown, 30 to 35 minutes. Cool by hanging the cake (in the pan) upside down around the neck of a bottle until it cools to room temperature. Run a long, sharp knife blade around the cake to loosen, then knock the cake out onto a plate.
• Glaze: Stir the ingredients together until smooth. Pour over the top of the cake and spread with a spatula, letting the glaze trickle down the sides. Let set for at least 30 minutes before serving, or until the icing is hard. Cut with a serrated knife, using a sawing motion.

ANGEL FOOD CAKE - HOMEMADE

Steps:

• Note: For those not use to making angel food cakes Don't get any yoke in the whites, if you do throw out and start over. I always separate the egg in a glass first. Then if no yoke pour into measuring container.
• DO NOT GREASE PAN.
• I always use a two piece angelfood cake pan.
• Heat oven to 375°.
• Sift the cake flour and 3/4 cup + 2 Tbsp sugar separately; set aside.
• Combine the extracts in a small bowl; set aside.
• Beat egg whites, cream of tartar and salt until it forms peaks.
• Add the other 3/4 cup of sugar slowly, then beat on high until stiff peaks form.
• If you have a mixing guard for your mixer bowl now would be a good time to attach it.
• Beating on LOW, add flour mixture and extracts slowly.
• Make sure you fold in the sides and bottom of your mixing bowl.
• (You can fold in flour mixture by hand but this way is faster.) Spoon into an angel food cake pan.
• Move a knife through batter to remove air pockets.
• Bake 30-35 minutes or until top springs back when touched lightly with finger.
• Invert pan onto a tin funnel to cool completely.
• To remove the cake from your pan run a knife around the rim of the cake pan just to get the 'crust' away from the pan.
• Then firmly spank the sides of your pan.
• You could use a knife but this sometime tears the sides of the cake.
• Invert onto your serve plate then take the knife to the now top which was the bottom of your pan and gently cut cake away from the pan insert.
• No need to cut around the center tube as you just give the cake a gently but firm tap or downward shake on to the plate.
• Or you can pick up plate while holding onto the pan insert with your thumbs and firmly strike the bottom of the plate onto a folded towel. (Just give it a slam down on the towel/table).
